hydrate & protect duo

hydration for breakout prone skin

$44.72 $55.90

Two non-negotiables. One very good duo ;)

Thirst trap is your skin’s daily drink of water. Lightweight hydration that helps support your barrier without clogging pores or feeling heavy. Skin shady can protect your skin from daily UVA/UVB damage without the thick, greasy, white-cast sunscreens that usually give people the ick.

What’s inside:  

  • thirst trap face moisturiser
  • skin shady face sunscreen SPF50

How to use

AM:

Apply skin shady face sunscreen SPF50 generously every morning as the last step of your skincare routine before makeup and 20 minutes before sun exposure. Re-apply every 2 hours, especially after exercise, swimming or towelling. 

PM: 

After cleansing and applying your serums, massage thirst trap face moisturiser into the skin as the final step of your routine.  

For best results, layer over spot cream, skin milk toner and rebound serum (each sold separately). 

Caution: Avoid contact with eyes. Wear a hat, protective clothing and sunglasses when in the sun, and avoid prolonged sun exposure. Overexposure to the sun is a serious health threat. Reducing the recommended amount of sunscreen applied will significantly lower the level of protection. For external use only. Patch test before first use. If an adverse reaction occurs, rinse skin thoroughly and discontinue use. 

Who’s it for

Suitable for all skin types, especially breakout-prone skin. For anyone who avoids SPF because it feels too heavy, too greasy or breaks them out, or struggled to find a moisturiser that hydrates without breaking you out or feeling heavy!

    Super hydrating

    Glides on so smooth and very hydrating. I have super oily skin though so halfway through the day my face is slick under make up. Maybe not great for my skin type? I wear it and night instead.

    New staple moisturiser

    I am obsessed with the moisturiser - it’s everything I’ve ever wanted. I am currently using this alongside prescription acne topicals and it is just perfect. So gentle and calming but sooo lovely and nourishing. I can’t get enough - would LOVE a bigger bottle 😉

    Great product, love new pump

    Have gone through 4 of these in the last few months. Absolutely love this. Thick and nourishing without feeling heavy and occlusive. Love the new packaging with pump. Will continue to buy.

    Immediately bought more

    Had a skin check and my dr recommended this product for my skin type. Sunscreen has always lead to breakouts and oily feel and look after applying. This was great, no breakouts, dried matter and very light weight on the skin. I bought 2 more a week later to have I'm my bag and at work

FAQ'S

Still got questions?

Check out our most commonly asked questions! If you can't find the answer you are looking for, just hit up one of our friendly customer care team members! They love a chat.

Do I really need moisturiser if I have oily skin?

Yes bestie. Hydrated skin is balanced skin. Skipping moisturiser can actually cause your skin to produce more oil.

Can I wear these under makeup?

Yes, thirst trap & skin shady were designed to sit smoothly under makeup. The lightweight textures absorb quickly and don’t pill when layered with foundation.

Is this good for breakout-prone skin?

These were designed specifically for breakout-prone skin and use non-comedogenic formulas that hydrate without clogging pores.

Why did you reformulate?

At The Breakout Hack we’re constantly improving our formulas. As skincare technology evolves, we revisit our products to make sure they’re still the best version they can be.

When we revisited thirst trap, our goal was simple: improve hydration, refine the texture and make the formula work even better for breakout-prone skin.

For skin shady, we've upgraded the UV filter system to a more modern combination that delivers high protection with a lightweight feel.
